also: the next time you're paging through the newest skate magazine, take notice how many people in that magazine are using them, it's pretty nuts
medium bones get very very soft and will break if you tighten them. get hard bones bushings if you like a medium feel. they're magic
I got 149 Indys, I like to ride them more tight than loose and I've had the Bones bushings, the hard ones, for one session but I have to say they are pretty damn good. The boards feels snappier as the trucks return more quickly from turning. Though I have no idea how they will feel in long term but the first feel was that I'll always ride these things.If the first session feels like you don't have to worry about shit, I think then you're on the something good.
I'm for the blue ones, all the way! (super soft)cause I'm down for all things dangerously loose

khiro and grind king make the same type of bushing.

Been skating almost everyday and they're still going. Same feel as the first day. Fresh.

You either die a hero or live long enough to watch yourself become the Berra.
I've never had a problem with indy stock bushings or breaking em in. I do notice that they do tend to chip and crumble very easily though. I might just have to give the bones bushings a try one of these days...
Gino had a certain lean
Thisedit: Here's one example: Rick Howard and his Indys
i bought some on a whim and was going to put them in but the silver cap thing wouldn't fit. then i read that you don't need it. but it just looks too weird to me not having it on there so i couldn't deal.maybe i should try themhow much can it really matter though? i've been drinking
